I can't believe you scanned this in several pieces--it all fits together so nicely! What's your secret? I have so much trouble doing that, it's unreal!

Li-chan

I see. The problem with my scanner is that the pieces I scan will not add up--for some reason, they all scan at different sizes. I mean, some parts will be bigger than others--like the top of someone's head will be huge, and then their chin that should line up to it will be half the size. I don't know why--I scan everything in at the same size and dpi. Hmm.

I think all scanners do the dark lines-thing. Thanks to Photoshop and the magical power of LAYERS, I can easily remedy that! Weehoo!

I just realised I didn't even comment on your image itself. O.O My bad. I really love your lines--especially the ones you used on her lips and eyes. They're really gorgeous, and you have a talent for strands of hair. I really like the details in her earrings (I just got my ears pierced two or three hours ago...) Very cool.

The hands are both well-drawn, but the one in the right-hand side of the image seems kind of unnattached. Like it's not too clear where it's coming from. I think if it was a little closer to the top of her head, you would be able to see it clearly is the guy's. It's a very nice composition, though, I'm very impressed! My fave part is how her hair curves down around the bottom to kind of 'frame' the pic. Very nice.
